Bassist
Eric Avery is probably best known as one of the co-founders of
Jane's Addiction.
Avery embarked on a number of projects after the breakup of the band in 1991, such as co-founding Deconstruction with fellow
Jane's Addiction alum
Dave Navarro and starting his own band, Polarbear, in 1994. After auditioning for a spot in
Metallica following the departure of former bassist
Jason Newsted,
Avery began concentrating on a solo career. His debut album,
Help Wanted, was released in April 2008. ~ Katherine Fulton
